[QUOTE="Busbey, post: 330602, member: 6182"] runs perfect, no problems but curious about possibilities of prop change and gains. recently loaded up the boat with a little more weight than normal in my 12ft v hull. i had to have the guy in the front lean over the bow for a few min to get on plain. When it is just me, or someone else with regular weight (full 3gallon tank, rods and 2 batteries in the back) i notice it gets 3/4 on plain and stays there for a few seconds, then it sounds like i switched gears, it levels off and takes off. i can feel it take off. by myself with all equipment i get about 21mph. I am not looking to break any speed records but i feel a prop change would help me in several ways. also, i do not have a Dolphin Tail' ? on it. that rubber thing that bolts on and help me on plain easier. should i look into one of these or changing the prop? How do i check what i have now? I assume it is labeled somewhere. Where? With that information, how do i calculate for the best prop size for my needs? [/QUOTE]
